<p>I'm doing my common application online, but all of my teachers have told me that they want to mail recommendations, not do them online. Is it OK if I mail my recommendations but submit my application and essay online? I ask this because on the common app website, it is written that we do not mix and match between mailing materials and sending them online.</p>
<p>You aren’t supposed to mix and match the items you submit, but your teachers have the choice of sending electronically or by mail. If some or all of your teachers want to send by mail and you do your apps electronically, that’s fine.</p>
<p>It was definitely okay last year for teachers to physically mail in their recommendations, and I would assume the rules have not changed that much over the course of a year. Just provide each teacher with an addressed envelope with the stamps :).</p>
